The Senkozen Family branch of the Ten Great Gahwardian Families. Also hailed as it's sworn leader even if another member from another family won leadership. T'is the sworn law of the clan, inscribed by its founders and forefathers. Their family is said to have started its lineage with Life & Death I. When they both decided to have children, they brought to this world two girls that became the very first born Senkozen. The other members that were sworn into the family began popping out babies as well as an era of tranquility and balance came into being.
Their family has been around protecting the clan and embodying uts meaning to their core. Leading the clan into many wars that spread their territory well beyond four, large Clusterverses(Well over 18,000 universes.) Their clan even grew to the size of two Large Clusterverses(9,000 universes.) Becoming the largest clan within their Colossaverse. Their history and lead of the clan has them hated by many across the omniverse, as you have heard and seen in earlier chapters. "You goddamn Gahwardians!" , is of many of the things one could expect. Their unrivaled strength and battle sense is to be desired and envied within a verse that's based on body strengthening and combat concepts.
Well anyway, we pretty much find ourselves within a lovely and illustrious verse that's split from the base realms we explore everyday. This place belongs to the Senkozen, but open to ALL Gahwardian kinds. Even those of independence that have left the clan in search of greater expansion. Yes, all of them are welcome… but today we focus on the younger and more fresh generation of Senkozens. Shiishii and his siblings, as well as cousins all meet up within the realm ti chat and relax. They bring booze and cosmic marijuana to the occasion. Of course it was to help unwind and relax while they catch and speak on what's to come. Exploring their Birthright given realm for all its magnificent wonder.
Shiishii: "So Jollister… *Inhale* What ya hoe ass ask us to come here fOR- … *HACK* *COUGH* OH- *Cough* Shit!"
Hideaki: "Pass. That. Shit bruh."
Gaia: "No, he's right… pass that Shii."
Shiishii: "HeRE- *COUGH* here."
Gaia: *Grip* "Mhm."
Shiishii: "Fuck you!"
Jollister grabs the blunt from Gaia just before preparing to speak. A quick inhale and-
Gaia: "Aye bitch!" *SMACK*
Jollister: "AYE!"
Gaia: "Gimme dat. *SNATCH* The hell is wrong with you?" *Inhale*
Everyone laughs and poor drinks from Gaia's bottomless gord. Jollister rubs his head and then clears his throat which catches everyone's attention. He then begins to speak of his reasoning for this gathering.
Jollister: "Truth be told I just wanted to tell you all it's truly no hard feelings. Like truly… but I made a Senkozen vow to help my friend so I won't cease this behavior until then. You guys know the deal."
Haydes: *Exhale* "So it's that. Fucking. Deep? Why didn't you say something the first time you ran into us."
Kishin: "Or when you kicked our asses?"
Hideaki: "Nah, no seriously. I should slap the shit outta you. COM-MUN-ICATION my man. Learn it!"
Jollister: "Ayo, shut the fuck up mayne! I know!"
Gaia & Shiishii: *Gulp* *gulp**gulp* "Mwuuuah, DO YOU!?" *Point*
Gaia's Sister: "Ew… y'all mirroring each other now? Ugh *shutters* just like mother and our uncle." *Sip*
Gaia; "Aye… shut it!"
Gaia's Sister: "Hahaa… aite. *Long Sip with the raise of her left eye brow.* I'm. Just… sayin'."
Jollister: "Yeah so uh… yeah. Until this is over, I'll be coming at y'all like I don't know you if you interfere."
Shiishii: "Ain't nothin new my man."
Ebon: "We'll train."
Vashjai: "We'll catch up."
Morpheus: *Exhale* "And we'll put you down!"
Jollister: "Ha! I like it!"
Gaia: "Mhm… so who's ya leader?"
Haydes: "Hm?"
Jollister: "Lower that eyebrow Haydes, because this God isn't telling a soul."
Haydes: "Mhm… *Gulp* we'll see."
Jollister: "Yeah, apologies you guys, but you'll find that out in due time. Best to say you guys better keep training. You're horribly outmatched right now as far as who is here right now and your current forces for STRIFE. If you don't, you'll all die and perish from what my organization has planned. Just my own words of advice."
???: "As if I'd need to train. I can kick your ass as is."
Jollister: "Hah! That's a hard maybe and I'm nowhere near the worst threat when it comes to strength and battle prowess. There's members in our group that rival the Grand Council."
???: "Oh? Is that right?"
Shiishii: "Whelp… that definitely confirms your reasoning for giving us warning. We truly could be wiped out as we are."
Hideaki: *Gulp* *gulp* "Then we train, but… honestly. Who the fuck wants to talk about that right now!? Let's go explore this place and who has the damn keef!?"
Haydes: "Woah there my man, calm down. Here…" *Inhale* *stretch*
Hideaki: "About time."
Kishin: "He's right. Let's relax and explore this place. We didn't get to the last time we came."
Jollister: "Then I say we go ahead and see what different kinds of beasts inhabit this vast realm."
Shiishii: "Seems like as good a place as any."
Gaia: "Sis-sis and You! Let's go guys, we've got some private talks to discuss while we all walk. Go ahead and activate your Mental Zenchi."
Gaia's Sister: "Yeah, yeah."
???: "Will do Malady."
The group walk deep into the prairie fields that held forests, woods, jungles, frozen tundras, rocky lands and many more. They were the truest form of prairie, a prairie that could embody the complete structure of the concept known as nature. Not world within Gahwardia's jurisdiction is out of its grasp to search and discover its version of Mother Nature. Infinite climates and habitats could be found within the single infinitely stretched out prairie. Along with many animals amd beasts that inhabit each and every different climate, and environment that has risen in this land.
"Isn't that a… YEAH it isss! That's a damn woodland Wolf-Tiger!" Hideaki yells with excitement at the site of such a rare creature. And to think there was an entire pack of them. Including their gigantic sleeping alpha. Their bodies were big and bulky with a thick coat of fur. Their natural shape varied with the males having a bulked out wolf frame that was three times the size of the average dire wolf. And the females have slim-bulk tigress bodies that usually have a thicker coat and tail. Both genders share two sets of ears that resemble a wolf's in one and a tiger's in the other. Their paws and hind legs are ALWAYS stacked with more muscle and meat for greater push when sprinting with far more grip to whatever surface. Truly a rare breed indeed.
Shiishii: "A whole pack huh? Definitely taking a picture of that. *SNAP* Gotta show Amiyama this one!"
Jollister: "Y'all trippin, mayne. Those damn Whale Kings are where it's at. That is SO dope."
Gaia: "I wonder who put all these creatures here."
Gaia's Sister: "Mom and I did, duh."
Everyone: "WHAT!?"
Gaia: "Well damn. You guys catch any apex?"
Vashjai: "Oooooo, I see the vision, and I like it bruh!" *Thumbs up*
???: "Not everyday presents a gracious opportunity like that. I've only ever seen one and that was the Warterror Apex, KoJakka DeLoche(Da-Lock)."
Jollister: "You met KoJakka!? AhhhwwUH! I'm jealous as shit, mayne."
Gaia's Sister: "Haha! But uh… to answer your question, yes. She caught ten with my assistance."
Shiishii: "Ten… you say?" *eyebrow raise*
Gaia's Sister: "Yep… but uh. They're hostile as shit now so… yeah. We'd be killed if we don't sneak a peek. Can't just wander into their territories as they are now. Especially the Alpha Apex."
Haydes: *Exhale* "Who's the alpha?"
Kishin: "Hm?"
Gaia's elder sister stops walking which halts the group as well. They all turn to look at her as her aura grew dense.
Gaia's Sister: "Drapence Maxim, The Elder Dragon God Supreme. He was forced here as a punishment and has literally one year left. Can't say the details, but every Apex was put here for that same reason."
Shiishii: "Dr-DRAPENCE!?"
Jollister: "No way! He can defeat Council members and he's HERE!?"
???: "Mhm… is that the eerie presence I've been sensing?"
Gaia's Sister: "More than likely."
Morpheus: *Gulp* *Gulp* "AH… that's fucking crazy!"
Ebon: "I'm too cautious of a being to go picking my nose in their realm with him there. That's far too dangerous."
???: "I agree."
Gaia's Sister: "Yeah, his Mental Zenchi is said to always be active. Its no sweat to him. He already saw us coming and WILL see us if we make ANY decision that relates going to that part of the Prairie Realm."
Shiishii: "I see… Hm."
Hideaki: "Lets just visit at least fifteen environments man. I missed you guys."
Jollister: "I felt that cousin, mayne. I'm down."
Haydes: "Let's go."
Vashjai: *INHALE* "Yeah… let's go."
Gaia: "Doesn't seem like anyone is against the idea, so let's head out."
Everyone: "Al~Riiiiight!"
They venture deep into the prairie and touch down on many different kinds of environments and habitats. First making their way through a tundra environment that hosted snowy slopes, frozen lakes, floating icebergs on both air and its personal ocean as big as the pacific. There was many beasts there with very few animals. Most of which were ultimately rare through the omniverse. For example, there was an Annihilative Sabertooth Gorilla-Bear herd that ruled most of the slopes and mountains. They were quite hostile and their Alpha even challenged Jollister. Who oneshot the poor thing, it was no more than an adolescent Alpha.
"Ya stupid ass bear! I oughta kill the lot of ya!" , screamed an angry Jollister as he was dragged away by Gaia and co. They all laugh as they continue into the gigantic Savannah. It stretched for literally thirty-five hundred miles going in every direction. It was also home to the infamous razorback Lionkings. They were as big as houses on average and even their smallest runts weighed over ten tons. Their mains were big and fluffy for the males while the females had mohawk shaped manes that went down their backs and flowed over their faces. Both genders had spines that stuck out their back in a similar manner to how Godzilla's look. And their alpha… it was of the female breed. She was ten times the size of the biggest and strongest male. She stared at the group as they walked by. Specifically Gaia out of everyone.
Gaia: "Mhm… I recognize that beast over there. I'll have to come back and see her one day."
Gaia's Sister: "Yeah, she has top ten battle strength out of all the Alphas. She was very tough when I fought her."
Shiishii: "Mhm… shall we keep going?"
Jollister: "These damn alphas are annoying. Pass the damn bottle and Keef!"
???: "I got the booze… *Pour* Here you clown." *Sip*
Jollister: "That's jester to you, you angelic piece of lard."
???: "Mhm…"
Morpheus: "Here's the keef."
Shiishii: "Stop hoggin it lil bro!"
Morpheus: "I'm not even hoggin it."
Everyone: "Yeah, aight."
Morpheus: "Aye, Aye aye… off my back!"
They continue deeper into the prairie lands which leads them to the deep ans eerie lava pits. They were home to a huge amount of Magma sharks that prayed on each other. Due to their 200 different species being located there. On top of each species having a bare minimum of one thousand or more sharks to their population. After taking a dive there they continue through a huge rainforest with trees taller than mount everest itself. There were many amphibious species located there including literal Shadow BullFrogs with giant horns. They make a quick pit stop there and continue down into the lands.
"That Bullfrog… it tried to eat me." , uttered Vashjai as they left the rainforest. They visit a few more locations a few thousand miles down the line. All the while speaking on their goals and the good old days when they all used to be able to be so carefree.
Hideaki: "You guys remember when Shiishii recreated a replica of MorZick's skull and convinced us he was done in?"
Gaia: "Oh my prono… that prank was HI~larious. He had Haydes and everyone so scared. Even his fake tears seemed real.
Morpheus: "Yall let big bro bring out the bitch in yall?"
Haydes: "Aye fuck you. We were young."
Ebon: "Hahahaaa! Y'all used to do some dumb shit huh?"
Kishin: "All the time, like how Shii and I used to fight every damn day."
Shiishii: "Still do, with the way you pressed me two days ago."
Kishin: "Hahaaa, my bad bro."
Shiishii: "All good bro."
Gaia's Sister: "Well now that we've seen so many places. I need you guys to follow me. With the talks of omen and stuff I want to share with you guys, a piece of info that describes the true nature of the Senkozen… and this place."
Gaia: "Hm… lead the way. Come on guys."
Morpheus: "Ah good. Seems we're almost done here. Good, we have to watch Warren Warmen's challenge day fights tomorrow. Special day that I'm excited for."
Gaia's Sister: "It'll be quick, little cousin. Come along." *Swish* *swish*
The group walk to the eastern edge of the prairie fields where a dark and ominous abyss can be found. The presence leaking from it was very hostile and bloodthirsty. It sent chills down everyone's spines. Which raised many questions within everyone's minds.
Jollister: "Wh-What's down there? Feels even more overwhelming than your average Grand Council member."
Gaia's Sister: "That's what I wanted to tell you all about. This place is a wonderland and retirement home for highly powerful Senkozen family Gods. But the reason for them being here and why they are all so powerful, rivaling council members. It's because not only is it a requirement, but it's also to prevent anyone here that's being punished from getting out before their sentence is complete."
Shiishii: "Wait… so this is a prison!?"
Gaia's Sister: "To an extent, yes. It's a multi-purpose realm and you're payed in luxuries and true freedom at the expense of having to face and detain very dangerous Gods."
Gaia: "So who's down there? He seems to have Drapence beat and that's saying something."
Hideaki: "Pretty sure we'd all like to know."
Gaia's Sister: "Mhm… well that's easy. His name is Xiaochin Koku-Wukong."
Haydes: *Drop* "T-The FIRST Monkey Emperor!?"
Jollister: "What did such a being do to get on your mom's bad side."
Gaia's Sister: "I can't say, but his existence here leads directly into what we Senkozen are."
Everyone was eased by her words due to their curiosity overpowering the weight of their fear. Their attention was focused solely on her and what she would say next. She seemingly turned her full attention towards the bottomless abyss before them. Then began to speak once more.
Gaia's Sister: "We Senkozen are said to be the bound leaders and protectors of Gahwardia."
Everyone: "Yeah, true… true." *They all nod*
Gaia's Sister: "But that's not the case. *They all paused with question mark faces* We as Senkozen are allowed to leave said position whenever we'd like. But there's a reason for this, actually two reasons kiddos. One being the other nine royal families, and two being this. Our family is tied down to the concepts of Life and Death. So much so that it's literally repeatedly fleshed out of our bloodline time and time again. We're on the third go. Those chosen are the fated protectors of the omniverse. But what if I told you not being chosen DOES NOT relinquish you from that duty?"
Everyone fell completely silent as they got a good grasp of what her words meant. And with that, their attention more than doubled, so she continued with haste.
Gaia's Sister: "We Senkozen are a family who embodies the concept of our two creators. The ones who started the bloodline when they married the loves of their lives. We, along with twenty other families are responsible for protecting this Omniverse and keeping the order. As part of the first generation of STRIFE and their pact to keep safe, what they had created with hard work. Even then, We Senkozen's are the lead of that as well, we are the balance and we are the truth of this verse. Those who wish to break balance by doing Life and Death in, would also have to do so with us if balance is to truly be broken. Why?"
Shiishii: "Simple…"
Gaia and Shiishii: "Because we are the Senkozen family!"
Gaia's Sister: "And the true balance that holds this verse together." *Grin*
The Senkozen realm… a place held high as a wonder with freedom, retired Senkozen family members and Elder Gods who wish for true relaxation and freedom. But its darkest secret is being that of a prison. As the Senkozens are revealed to be the true balance, what could happen to them during this almighty quest for the keys. We shall see as Haydes' search for Le Destrucíon continues…
